PB exco lunch date.
jeudi 31 décembre 2009

Woohoo, the PB EXCOs finally got to have lunch with Mr Teo. We ate at Manhattan Fish Market, by the way.

I was awoken by Nobel's phone call at 9 in the morning. Okay, I wasn't really asleep anymore but I couldn't pull myself out of bed. HAHA.

"Hello Yong Liang, did you read my message?"
"What message, I go read now."
"Never mind, I tell you now. Ms Thian wants to meet us for breakfast at 9am. Then after that go back school help her move things."
"Orh. Okay lor. Bye."

*looks at clock*

"IT'S 9 O CLOCK!?"

My mum already prepared breakfast, so I ate it anyway. Brushed teeth, washed my face, put on fresh clothing and out I went.

We still can't stop talking about the purple hair. It's just...weird. HAHA. And I told her how even Melissa and Xin Hui thought she was my mum. Melissa even said Ms Thian looked like me.

My "mum" has purple hair. lol.

Ms Thian gave me part of her carrot cake because she couldn't finish it. Heh. I felt like a small kid you know, eating from the small plate. HAHA. So paiseh (embarrassing).

Then Nobel and I went to help Ms Thian buy Beautex Tissues and MILO. LOL. She's going to bring that to HQ. Haha.

Then we went to school to help her move the last of her stuff. Met Ms Khoo in the staff room too. Then we told her about Ms Thian being mistaken as my mum. And then Ms Khoo said that we looked alike. Because our spectacles are both square-shaped. -.- lolness.

Then we went to Junction 8. Hehe. Played Daytona with Wei Lun and Nobel.

Lunch at Manhattan Fish Market. We actually intended to eat at Cafe Cartel, but we decided to have something different. [: The 4 of us, Nobel, WL, ZD and I shared a Fisherman's Giant Fried Platter, while Mr Teo had Grilled Norwegian King Salmon Fillet (if I remembered correctly).

Then we went to play pool at his friend's cafe. MR TEO'S POOL IS ZAI CAN. OMG.

But then the pool table didn't give us "face". The balls were stuck after we finished the 2nd game. So there's no affinity between us and the table. No third game ): Sigh.

Mr Teo drove us back to Junction 8 then left. haha, then 3 of us, WL, Nobel and I went back to the arcade. haha. (note that Zong Da left earlier).

We had a wild time playing Afterburner Climax ok. It was super funny. We wanted to complete the whole game, so we agreed to continue the game as soon as one of us "Game Over-ed". (There's a 'Continue' Screen that appears for 9 seconds as soon as your game is over)

"EHH I DIE ALREADY. QUICK TAKE OVER TAKE OVER!"
"OK OK OK . HELP ME PUT ON THE SEAT BELT! START ALREADY START ALREADY!!"

In the end. We still didn't manage to finish it ):

COS I DIED AT THE VERY START OF THE LAST STAGE. OMIGOD. SO CLOSEEEE. I crashed into the cliff because I didn't know what was going on -.- And then Wei Lun and Nobel were still getting tokens. arghhh.

Then we spent the rest of our money on a shooting game that was pretty fun. But I can't remember what game it was already. haha.

So, that's quite a fun way to end a year. haha. [:

HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR EVERYONE [:

I WANT TO PLAY POOOOOL.
mardi 29 décembre 2009

I want to play pool. ):

The holidays are almost coming to a close but I have not really been able to accomplish what I had wanted to do.

1. Learn Krav Maga. - Mr Tan promised to go with me, but then his intestinal problem relapsed so...no choice ):

2. Learn Breaststroke - My dad's working the afternoon shift. And he had this recent injury with his left eye.

3. Clean up my room - I won't say it's really neat and organised now, but I really did throw out a lot of things. I really wish to just throw out everything and reassemble my room but my mum won't let me. ):

4. Go play pool with roy, nobel or someone - STILL HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET. OMG.

5. Go run/workout every morning - CFTH kept me busy for almost the entire holidays.

6. Go cycle/rollerblade - Wei Kit got that CLT course thingy. -.- sigh.

What do I want to do now?

I don't know. :/

Reflection reflection.
dimanche 27 décembre 2009

I'm really tired but I have to say this before I forget haha. A lot to say.

Thanks everyone who came today and helped me plan and prepare everything. [:

Thanks Wei Xuan for going shopping and planning with me.
Thanks Wesley for doing the accounting (haha) and everything. Thanks [:
Thanks Wei Kit for just being there. Haha. Thanks a lot, you're my pillar of support. I always knew I can depend on you.
Thanks Melissa for coming and pulling in more friends.
Thanks Xin Hui for coming and pulling in more friends.
Thanks Sim Yi for making dogs and swords out of balloons. Haha.
Thanks Duo Geng. Red team was awesome.
Thanks Samuel Chia for coming even though you had a basketball match to attend (although it was cancelled later). Thanks for keeping your promise HAHA. 4-1 [:
Thanks Wei Lun for coming and helping me out. Really awesome.
Thanks Yeung Kai for coming and helping me out too!
Thanks Christabel for coming and the soft toys! Thanks a lot [;
Thanks Yeo Khee for coming!
Thanks Samuel Lee for coming and keeping Wei Xuan company. haha.
Thanks Chyan Wen for coming and keeping Nobel company.
Thanks Novell for coming, WITH THE CAMERA. HAHA [:
Thanks Cheng Pau for coming and helping us out!
Thanks Qiu Le for coming. You and Yi Chan were good with the kids [:
Thanks Yi Chan for coming!
Thanks all donors for your kind donations [: Much appreciated.
And thanks Ms Thian for coming today and lending us a hand. And thanks for the donuts.

(I totally ran out of lines, but really, thanks everyone. I hope I haven't missed out anyone, but if I did, I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT! But really, thank you very much. [: you made this so much easier for me. [:)

Thanks station masters, I appreciated your spontaneity and flexibility. You changed the games on the spot to involve everyone and all of you made this a better experience for the children. Thank you so much.

Thanks Team I/Cs for taking good care of the children. I admire the way all of you bonded with the kids and handled the kids. Especially Samuel Chia haha, piggy-backing the kids from place to place. Thank you so much.

I would give myself 6/10 for this event or less. Because I still wasn't prepared for it. I thought the plan will run perfectly, or almost fine but a lot of glitches popped up during the planning process as well as today.

Well, the most memorable glitch was the number of children attending. I was first told it was 40-50. Even though the upper limit was 50, I felt it was safer for me to prepare 60 of everything. But 3-4 days before the event, I was told that 70 children will be attending. Flustered I was, but luckily, thanks to my dad's last minute donation and last minute shopping with mum and last minute collections from Ms Thian with Nobel, we managed to get 80 of everything. 80 was again, my "safe" estimate, just in case there was again an increase in children attending.

Alas, 85-90 children arrived (maybe more, couldn't determine. The kids just kept running around, and coming halfway through the programme)

And then I couldn't disappoint the kids. I didn't know how we did it, but we managed to produce enough presents to go around, and we managed to come up with one more prize, so that all teams receive a prize. (although the shortage of goodie bags couldn't be helped).

Thanks everyone [: You guys made this a success. Somehow, we pulled it off. [:

Talked to Nobel and Wesley over dinner today. I'm now wondering who am I really. I think I'm an arrogant, domineering and ambitious (even overly-ambitious person), who wants everything to go his way. I think I'm an authoritarian. (you can really just close your window now. I'm just using my blog as a medium where I can learn more about myself. haha)

I think I'm a person who plans in an optimistic manner. Although almost everytime as the deadline nears, my other personality kicks in and I start imagining the worst case scenarios and I start panicking and thinking of solutions. Yesterday I suddenly had transport problems. I had 8 boxes and 2 bags. My worst solution was to take 2 taxis. My best solution was to somehow find a van. Thank god for google and ebustop.com.
And, I prefer to plan 'safely'giving myself a sense of security (maybe false) by preparing 10 extra than the number I was provided. In this case, I was told 70 children and I prepared 80 bags. My worst case scenario solution was just to give everything we have left. And we did. We gave snacks, sweets, notebooks and everything I could find. :/

And the cake. -.- Couldn't do anything about it. No money and I cannot possibly ask the donor to get a bigger cake, especially since the order was already through. That, I had no solution but to cut the cake as small as possible. I couldn't provide an alternative as it wouldn't be fair if some children get the cake and some do not. (Although I often tell people life is unfair but the cake thing is really unfair. :/ And I was especially afraid the kids will cry.) Thankfully, Ms Raja told me to just give the cakes to their parents, which solved our problem.

Today = Big Mess due to the overwhelming number and my lack of preparation. I really should have just prepared for 100 people, shouldn't I? Don't panic.

And I didn't know my volunteers well enough. I should have, really should have done a more detailed briefing on what was going on on that day. But I knew I couldn't provide details simply because there was too many things I didn't know and no one could give me answers. :/ I didn't know how many people were turning up. I didn't know where I could use or cannot use until that day. And I did not know the kids well.

This event was too last minute. Half a month. 2-3 weeks.

Back to my own reflection. Apart from being arrogant, ambitious, etc. When I plan, I like to be left alone. I refined and pictured the event in my head after Wei Xuan and Wesley helped me with the first programme. I did this in the comfort of my bedroom in front of my Thinkpad. I have to do this, otherwise I cannot think. :/ I like thinking on the spot, but my problem is I cannot convert the picture in my head into words. (maybe a picture speaks a thousand words and a thousand words is far too many for me to conjure.) Thus, my idea/solution/thinking/inspiration/brainwave is worthless. And I have difficulty controlling myself and my temper when I think. (That's why I do my planning in the bedroom.) I don't like being interrupted when I'm thinking. 1. I will not be able to hear or comprehend what the person had said because I simply didn't notice him. 2. I don't like answering other people's questions when thinking. 3. I like to think with my other selves and "imaginary friends" (haha. really). And sometimes an idea, or a fresh plan disappears once I'm interrupted. My brain is my workshop. Thinking on the spot isn't the problem, but conveying my idea/plan to others is my problem. Definitely. I'm not good with words (and people) :/ I think I'm a loner.

And that's why I'm extremely clingy to Wei Kit. heh heh. [: I can't 'be myself' in front of anyone else (I realised..). I'm silent/anti-social/a loner when I'm surrounded by strangers (people I do not know). I had no idea how I survived my Japan tour without talking to anyone, but I didn't know what to say -.- Really. I'm not a social butterfly. No, I'm not even social. And that's bad. :/ I need a shrink.

But then I don't have that problem around people I am closer with. Like Wei Kit, maybe Nobel and Wei Xuan and the other PB EXCOs. That's when I am somehow able to talk crap tell stupid jokes and be lame.

Then again sometimes around people I am close with I don't talk crap tell stupid jokes and be lame. I think it's the stress thingy. Now that O level is over I think I've gone a bit cranky. Maybe.

I really need to shake off that authoritarian streak. I honestly think I am arrogant, obnoxious, calculative, authoritarian, domineering etc. And I don't like it.

Maybe it's the way I grew up. My mum always wanted me to do things myself. No way she was going to spoon feed me. So, alone, everything went the way I wanted, simply because I'm alone. I achieved what I wanted. I earned what I got. I don't think my mum is indulgent. I can beg for something, but she'll probably hint at me that she's not getting it or I'll have to get it myself.

Or maybe it's just the hardwiring of my brain.

Personality issues. I don't like it.

But I was epic fail today. That's the main point. heh.

I had more to talk about, but I'm too tired to recall. Goodnight before I type more rubbish.

Merry Xmas [:
vendredi 25 décembre 2009

heh heh. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! [:

Progress has been extremely good so far with CFTH, although a glitch occured just 2 days ago. But it's already solved. [: I know I'm awesome. heh.

I've been a good boy all year, and all I wish for christmas is Taylor Swift. Really. [:

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone [: Hope all of you will share the joy as well as celebrate the occasion with your friends and family! Don't be a stranger. HAHA [:

Some pictures of the preparation for the 27th Dec event:

First, we have the collection from Catholic High School! heh.

Helped Ms Thian clear her table after collecting donations from her, (like files, paperclips, What is Success, bookmarks. haha)

See those post-it notes? Me and Nobel saw one with "Are you staying late tonight?" on it. We are still wildly guessing who was the person who wrote that. Ms Thian said it was her split personality.

All clear.

Wei Xuan and I sorting out donations from Novell and Ms Thian.

So many items!

The next collection was from Amanda at Tampines.

Dining with Wei Kit at Asian Kitchen (Citylink Mall)
L to R: Wei Kit's Lime Juice, my Avocado Smoothie.

Our 小笼包.

Nice rack...

Wei Kit sorting the books from Amanda. Wei Kit had a good peek at Amanda's childhood. HEH HEH. [:

The usable items from Amanda. (gift-able)

The un-gift-able books from Amanda. (We'll be donating them to the centre as ordinary reading material)

Everything needed for 27th Dec. [: A lot of stuff.

The stuff going into the kid's goodie bags. heh heh. a lot of stuff. [: (not in the picture are the candy canes and lollipops)

This is what I bought for Wei Kit and Amanda from Japan. Comes as a pair. Cute right. heh heh, you haven't seen what they are supposed to be able to do yet.

There's a magnet. heh heh.

Quoted from Amanda, this action/process is known as "SMOOCHING" heh heh. XD

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Stand Up Comedy

Love love love love love
Love love love love love

I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched
In between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I’m gonna fall down if I can’t stand up
For your love

Love love love love love

Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty
Dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
But while I’m getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady

Oh, oh
Out from under your beds
C’mon, ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love
Love love love love love

I gotta stand up to ego but my ego’s not really the enemy
It’s like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
On a voyage of discovery

Stand up to rock stars
Napolean is in high heels
Josephine, be careful
Of small men with big ideas

Oh, oh
Out from under your beds
C’mon, ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love
Love love love love love

God is love
And love is evolution’s very best day

Soul rockin’ people moving on
Soul rockin’ people on and on
C’mon, ye people
We’re made of stars
C’mon, ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love

Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love

New Pencil Case!

Just came home from LIFE today. Made posters with Wesley and Wei Xuan. I feel like a kid again. I had not used crayons since I was 5 years old. 11 years! We drew stickmen, bubbly letters, hills, trees, houses, stickmen and an orange sun. haha. Really fun.

But tiring too :/ Colouring is tough work. I'll take photos of the posters on Sunday and post it up again [:

Mixture
mercredi 16 décembre 2009

While accompanying my grandma to the temple today, I did quite a bit of thinking, so I decided to put it here so I can look back in future.

First, I want to talk about why I remain agnostic. I do believe in a being, someone else up there who controls the going-ons around the world. Somehow, he/she has the power to do all that. I don't know what that being does, but I believe that being exists.

Our world. What is it, really? Maybe we're angels who paid for a tour package to come here (if so, I want a refund), we may be supernatural beings here for a human experience (borrowed from Thomas Mcaleenan). Or maybe we're part/product of a abandoned/ongoing experiment (Kindergarten - James E Gunn).

I believe that being is big-hearted. I don't think he/she'll punish me for not worshipping him/her. The being is not egoistic. All I have to do is to do good. If I'm a good person he'll/she'll reward me accordingly.

Second, I think the world will be a lot better if we were all four-year olds, really. Do you remember the time when you were four year old? Freedom. No worries. I wanted to be an artist. Others wanted to be doctors, lawyers, hawkers, drivers, teachers, everything. We all wanted to be rich, but did we really know why we wanted all that money? No, not really. We were greedy as young children, to a certain extent, but not entirely, not in a dangerous way.

If we were all four-year olds, there would be no wars. Right? (: Can you imagine a world of four-year olds? I can. Maybe there'll be no cars, no banks, no tanks, no planes, no buildings, no air-conditioning, no iPods, and definitely no government.

But we have, freedom, happiness, peace, sunrise, sunset, lush green fields to run across, tall trees to climb, beautiful clean lakes to swim in, ripe fruits to eat, animals to play with. You know? That simple kind of happiness.

At four years of age, we'll probably not be arrogant. Although as young children we would be altruistic, but we'll have the innate human ability to help each other. Real charity, real philanthropy, real benevolence. We'll share our happiness, our woes. I like that picture in my head, really.

A group of kids. Watch the sunset. Each holding a ripe apple in their hands. Slowly nibbling at it. Napping on the plains. A rabbit hops over and nudges you. It falls asleep beside you.

Balance.

Much better if we were four years old.

Third, why are there words that spell out in these ways: p-o-v-e-r-t-y, p-o-o-r, u-n-d-e-r-p-r-i-v-i-l-e-g-e-d?

That was another reason why I wished we were four-year olds. If only the world shares. While someone out there is eating caviar for breakfast, some African kid maybe trying to crawl to a shelter, while a vulture circles above him. If that someone eats less caviar, buys a sandwich with that money and gives it to that African kid, so much better.

If everyone stops and pray to their different gods for everyone else, probably so many more people will be blessed (Goo Goo Doll's Better Days: the one poor child who saved this world and there's ten million more who probably could if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them). If everyone stops to help another person, there may not ever be another unhappy day. That'll be the day Universities worldwide announce the removal of the word "unhappiness" and its synonyms from dictionaries.

Fourth, the world would be much better if we all trust each other, and everyone deserves to be trusted. Nothing much to explain here. If we all trust each other, there'll be no wars, no ponzi scheme, no recession, no depression, etc etc.

The world could be so much better. But it isn't.

Life isn't a bed of roses
mardi 15 décembre 2009

You know, I hate it when the picture in my head cannot become reality. I'm dependent on my imagination, it gives me security. ):

It just didn't work out the way I thought it would.

I'm feeling excited, pissed, depressed, tired all at the same time.

Sigh.

Caritas. You know what it means?

I wish I could do something more for the kids. If only I was a rich man's son. Or, somehow I'm lucky enough to get someone to trust a small group with no prior experience. No one trusts us, really.

I just needed to rant
lundi 14 décembre 2009

Things aren't going exactly smoothly. In June, I pictured CFTH volunteering at children's homes, making children happy, planning activities for the children, looking for sponsors to help us with our fundraiser, and organising the fundraiser. Until November I still was confident that we can make it work, despite this being our very first time. I was so sure we were gonna succeed. Not now.

Although Sivana and Lingling have agreed to help with the planning, they'll be leaving CFTH after the 27th Dec event so I'll have 2 members gone.

Keziah has to leave because she'll be very busy in January because of her DPA.

Adrian has decided to leave permanently.

And I don't know if Dong Lum and E Yang are still willing to contribute. Even if they are, they have their A levels next year to take care of.

On the slightly brighter side, Robo has decided to stick with me all the way (thanks robo [:), he'll be volunteering with me at LIFE. So, I've got 2 (incl. me) real permanent members.

I don't even know if I can pull of the 27th Dec event, much less the tentative June 2010 fundraiser.

I like turning dreams into reality, but now it's starting to feel like I'm turning this dream into a complete nightmare :/

Faith.

M'sia Trip
dimanche 13 décembre 2009

Back from a 3 day Malaysia trip to visit my grandmother. Super tired. I was half-dazed for most of the trip thanks to the drowsiness inducing runny nose medication. Yawn.

Didn't expect to buy anything from the trip, but in the end mum bought me a Quiksilver neoprene pencil case, a penguin soft toy which is super cute and 3l 370ml worth of Tropicana Twister orange juice. (:

Today's return trip home was quite eventful. First, Transtar screwed up our boarding procedure and we were directed to the wrong bus. :/ Realised we were on the wrong bus when there were 2 people assigned to the same seat. Afterwards, it turned out that we weren't the only ones with that ticketing problem. Big boo-boo for Transtar. Then, for dinner we had Nasi Goreng on the bus. I had to force down that spicy rice down. I loathe spicy food. My tummy still feels weird. :/

There was a long queue at the customs today. A looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong row of buses. Really long. During the trip to Malaysia, when I used the automated immigration clearance thingy, the scanner couldn't read my fingerprint properly. But it worked this time [: woohoo.

That's bout it.

CFTH
mardi 8 décembre 2009

I've been talking about CFTH, so I thought it'd be apt to write a post on how CFTH works.

CFTH is split into 2 parts. We have the volunteers, and we have the planners. The planners are made up of permanent members. Currently, we have myself, and Adrian as planners. (Dong Lum and E Yang's current commitment status is TBC).

We have 2 kinds of volunteers. We have the ad hoc volunteers who sign up for one event only (so they are not obligated to have any other commitments with us). The other group would be the long term volunteers who are willing to sign up with us and join our mission, however are unwilling to do the planning. We would contact the long-term volunteers when a new event comes up. Currently, as of now we have Wesley Lee who is an ad hoc volunteer for our event on 27th December. There are 2 other tentative ad hoc volunteers. There are 0 long-term volunteers as of now.

(: Feel free to contact me if you wish to join us.

Appeal for Volunteers

Hello all,

I am heading a small youth group called Charity from the Heart. I'm now working with Beyond Social Services currently to help young children (Primary School). Currently, I am helping LIFE (Learning is Fun and Exciting), which is a programme/'school' under Beyond Social Services to organise a party on the 27th of December. Hence, I'm in need of volunteers. I need volunteers whether ad hoc or long term to help me with this event.

- I need people to help me plan this event.
- I need people to volunteer for the event. (10-15 volunteers)

If you wish to contribute but you are unable to volunteer, you may prepare a Christmas gift for the children. We need 50 gifts (such as yo-yos, balls, some stationary, other toys).

In June/July 2010, I will be helping Beyond Social Services plan their annual fund-raising event, Streetwise Run 2010. Hence, I will need more permanent members for Charity from The Heart [CFTH].

Please contact me for more information. You may send an email to optimus.interpar@hotmail.c

om or charityfromtheheart@gmx.com

You will also be doing me a great favour if you are willing to spread this message to your friends who may be interested in joining CFTH.

Tristan Prettyman - Hello
dimanche 6 décembre 2009

Tristan Prettyman
Hello

Hello
I've had you on my mind
For hours there's no doubt
And there's no use wasting time

And hello
How could I ever feel this way
With so much left to say
And so much on my mind

I know there's no use for
Trying harder I got to
Gage and barter to get out

'Cause baby you start and then you stop
And my heart beats big before it drops
And I don't know what's to do

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back
Let me love grow good for you

And hello
My god you're beautiful
It's true, everyday I stumble
Getting caught up on you

And now I
I never been so amused
There ain't nothing left to prove
I ain't got nothing to lose

'Cause baby, I've been lightly drinking
And a little bit too heavy on the thinking
And won't you tell me something good

'Cause baby you start and then you stop
And my heart beats big before it drops
And I don't know what's to do

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back and let my love grow good for you
I sit back and let my love grow good for you

So baby, baby whatcha waiting
Whatcha waiting
Whatcha waiting for

Whatcha waiting
Baby whatcha waiting for

Tell me baby oh
Whatcha waiting for
Yeah, oh, yeah so baby

Whatcha waiting, waiting
Whatcha waiting for
So my baby, baby whatcha waiting for

Tell me baby oh
Whatcha waiting for
Yeah, oh, yeah 'cause baby

I've been lightly drinking
And a little bit too heavy on the thinking
And won't you tell me something good

'Cause baby you start and then you stop
And my heart beats big before it drops
And I don't know what's to do

Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
Sit back and let my love grow good for you
Yeah, I sit back and let my love grow good for you
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh
